Default Re: Tap/fawcett water or bottled water?

In Western Canada, we enjoy some of the finest tap water you can get. Buying bottled water here is a total waste of money, its actually more of a status thing/lifestyle accessory item.

People in North America waste water horribly, as there is a real fondness for backyard swimming pools, washing cars, and the people who really drive me nuts, the people who enjoy washing down their driveway. As a homeowner, once you pay your city taxes, cold water is essentially free and people use it as so.

The geography helps the city keep mountain resevoirs,then pumped downhill. We are so dependent upon the winter snow cycle in this part of the world that too much warming/drought would be disasterous for tourism and forestry, two mainstays of the economy 'round these parts.
